That's Great!!! I also FINALLY won an M 101A3. I've been trying for over 6 mos. The price keeps getting higher, but today I prevailed. Only had to go slightly over my $300 limit

I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel. I think that will pull it.

BTW do I need to get a pintle hitch and riser? How much higher do I need to go to get the trailer level? I am trying to figure out which pintle hitch setup to buy.

When I went to preview the trailers I measured the tongue on the trailer at 26". My stock hitch is at 16", so I fabricated an 8" riser plate with a combination 2" ball and pintle assembly. 8" was all I could go without tailgate interference on my Avalanche. I notice a slight forward rake with this set-up as it is set at 24" but it's all I could do. My EUC cleared so fast I thought I'd have at least a month to fabricate the hitch assembly, guess not.:roll: The EUC only took 7 days to clear. I didn't even get a chance to paint it!

Good looking trailer! They're nice aint they? I love mine. If you replace those huge 37" tires and runflats with some 33" tires it'll sit a bit lower and be prob 100# lighter. Search for a thread by me about lowering the landing gear, easy to do and it'll crank all the way down on your truck [thumbzup]

Tractor Supply has a number of pintle hitches too. They are cheaper than Northern Tool. I didn't know Wal Mart had them. I cannot find on their website. Never seen them, but it doesn't mean they are not there. I probably need to get out of town and find me one of those Wal Mart superstores in lieu of my little one here.
